Ten The Ten Basics Of Foot Square Foot Gardening

1 - LAYOUT Arrange you garden in squares, not rows. Lay it out in 4 by 4 areas. 2 - BOXES Build boxes to hold a new soil mix above ground. 3 - AISLES Space boxes 3 apart to form walking aisles. 4 - SOIL Fill boxes with Mels special soil mix: 1/3 compost. 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse vermiculite. 5 - GRID Make a square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST!

6 - CARE NEVER WALK ON YOUR GROWING SOIL. Tend your garden from the aisles. 7 - SELECT Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants per square foot. 8 - PLANT Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3 seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight saucer-shaped depression. 9 - WATER Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed water. 10 - HARVEST When you finish harvesting a square foot, add compost and replant it with a new and different crop.

OCATION L OCATION
Pick an area that gets 6-8 hours of sunshine daily. Stay clear of trees and shrubs where roots and shade may interfere. Have it close to the house for convenience and protection. Existing soil is not really important. You wont be using it. Area must not puddle after a heavy rain.

COMPOST
What is it?
Compost is a clean, crumbly, rich, earthy substance you can make for your garden soil. Properly made, it has all of the nutrients your plants need. In just about a month you can produce your own compost. Pile up weeds, kitchen waste, barnyard manure (NOT dog or cat), dry grass clippings, leaves, etc. The greater the variety, the richer the compost. Dont add fats, meats, dairy, or bakery products. Keep mixing in new things, turn the whole pile weekly and keep it moist.
